R: [COBOL400-L] String problems

["Roy Restuccia" <roy.restuccia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Geir,
you have 2 option depending on the string delimited you use in your program.
If the delimiter is " then the correct statement is:
        STRING """" DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO FIELD-A.
Otherwise if the delimiter is ' then the correct statement is:
        STRING '"' DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO FIELD-A.

Remember that you can use any combination of the delimiters " or ' in a
given cobol statement.

Bye, Roy.

Hello, all.

Can anyone tell me how to string a " into a field?  The " is used itself 
in the string command, so if I try STRING " " " delimited by size etc, the 
compiler/editor will not accept it.

Any good ideas? 


Mvh.
